Tulip City Airport (ICAO: KBIV, FAA LID: BIV) is a public-use airport located two nautical miles (3.7 km) south of the central business district of Holland, a city in Allegan County, Michigan, United States. According to the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2009–2013, it is categorized as a general aviation airport.
Owned by the City of Holland and operated by Tulip City Air, the airport relies on user fees, federal and state grants and donations to operate. The reason is a provision in the city charter that prohibits tax dollars from being used for airport operations. However, a regional airport authority was authorized by area voters in November 2008.
Although many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned BIV by the FAA and no designation from the IATA (which assigned BIV to Bria Airport in Bria, Central African Republic).
